Gilmer Police Sgt. Detective Roxanne Warren will present a program on identity theft and scams targeting the elderly at the Jan. 24 meeting of the Upshur County Senior Citizens Organization.

The 1 p.m. program is scheduled at the Senior Citizens Center, across from the police station on Harrison St., and is open to the public.

If someone comes by a home seeking unsolicited household work, "that's a red flag" and "I wouldn't deal with people who do that," Mrs. Warren told The Mirror. "Most reputable businesses don't operate that way."
